The FDA has upgraded a recall issued on 12-ounce Marketside Broccoli Florets that were initially sold at select Walmart stores across the United States.

The Food and Drug Administration has upgraded its classification of a broccoli recall initially reported in late December, labeling it as “Class I” — the agency’s most serious recall

Some packages of Walmart-sold broccoli florets have been recalled by its manufacturer. The FDA has designated the recall as a Class I, the most serious category.

On Dec. 12, 2024, Cal Yee Farm, a California-based company, announced a recall on a variety of products, including dark chocolate walnuts, apricots and yogurt-coated almonds, after the FDA discovered that they weren’t labeled properly.

A major chocolate recall has been upgraded to the highest possible risk level.

The FDA has updated the December recall of some of Cal Yee Farms' products to the highest risk level classification for three of its chocolate products, warning that exposure or consumption could cause death.

Nine states have been identified as being affected by the chocolate recall, but the products were available online so others could have the products as well. Consumers affected bought products from the retail store located at 5158 Clayton Road, Suisun Valley, CA 94534, and online through calyeefarm.com.

Multiple chocolate-covered products recalled in December due to mislabeled packaging and undeclared substances have been hit with FDA's Class 1 classification.
